Which energy changes are associated with a liquid boiling?

Energy is released, and potential energy decreases.

Energy is absorbed, and potential energy increases.

Energy is released, and kinetic energy decreases.

Energy is absorbed, and kinetic energy increases

Verified Answer :

Answer: Energy is absorbed, and kinetic energy increases

Explanation: Boiling is the phenomenon in which liquid is converted to gaseous state.

Thus in order to break the inter molecular forces of attraction present in a liquid, energy is required and thus the process is endothermic in nature.

As the molecules absorb energy, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and they start moving faster and more randomly and convert into gaseous state.

Answer:

C. Energy is released, and kinetic energy decreases.
